TD's Showclubs is a chain of strip clubs in Arizona and New Mexico that belong to the Zanzucchi family.[1][2]
Albuquerque, New Mexico
Fantasy World
The Fantasy World (FW) in Albuquerque belongs to the TD's Showclubs chain.[1][3] It is the only Albuquerque strip club featuring fully nude dancers.[3] Thrillist published a list titled "The Best Strip Club in All 50 States" on February 7, 2015, in which Fantasy World was listed as New Mexico's best strip club.[3]
In 2001, an investigation into Fantasy World was started by the Albuquerque Police Department's vice unit following reports that drug dealing and use were occurring at the club and its dancers were engaging in prostitution.[4] On April 6, three undercover detectives visited the club.[4] Despite Fantasy World being barred from serving alcohol, a dancer offered one of them an alcoholic drink.[4] In response to being asked for cocaine instead, the dancer introduced them to 21 year old dancer Aphrodite.[4] The detectives were sold $150 worth of cocaine, which was delivered to the club by Aphrodite's 31 year old boyfriend Greg.[4] The detectives were also offered sex for hire during their visit.[4] When detectives returned to Fantasy World on April 13 and tried buying a larger quantity of cocaine, Aphrodite told them her boyfriend didn't want to sell to them because he suspected they were cops.[4] She instead introduced them to 20 year old dancer Meagan, from who they bought $200 worth of cocaine in the the VIP room while 48 year old manager Uncle Ed was present.[4] The operation resulted in five arrests at the club on April 28 at 3:00 AM.[4] The charges against Greg, Aphrodite, and Uncle Ed, were two counts of drug trafficking and conspiracy.[4] Meagan faced charges for drug trafficking, conspiracy, open container, tampering with evidence, and bringing contraband into a detention facility.[4] Aphrodite posted a $60,000 bond and Meagan posted $47,500 bond before their releases on the day of the arrests.[4] Still remaining in custody the following day were Greg on $150,000 bond and Uncle Ed on $80,000 bond.[4] Among those arrested was also 19 year old Kimbra, who was charged with possession of between one and eight ounces of marijuana and posted $500 bond before being released on the day of the arrests.[4]
